Evive can be programmed in the same way as any Arduino MEGA. But many times we face that even for a small job like testing a motor or sensing at any ADC channel, we need to write a small code. It becomes frustrating sometimes. So we thought of making a software kind of thing using Arduino IDE (and C++) .Since evive has a TFT screen, joystick and many hardware stuff like switches, pots etc, we have made a menu based system. It is developed using the framework of Marlin program used in 3D printers.
Of course, it was not a simple Arduino sketch, it required lots of libraries. So we used eclipse Arduino IDE. Its very good tool now as it has inbuilt Arduino upload feature now.
Have a look at this video:
All the files are open-sourced at: https://github.com/evivetoolkit/evive/tree/master/softwareFiles/evive.
Since its very interesting to develop the software, I will make another very detailed project for the software.
